    does anybody know if anyone makes a metal front replacement fender for a 70 maverick? Only thing I can find is a fiberglass front fender and it isn't to cheep. Car was in a wreck and I need a fender. Thanks. Trevor

    Trevor,
    Front fenders (metal) are not reproduced. You gotta get a used one. If you post an ad in the wanted section, someone should be able to help you. Where are you located?

    I know this is probably far out there but is there a mustang fender that is the same as a maverick/comet fender?

    The only option besides junkyard would be fiberglass?

    Or you can buy one from a member on here, plenty of parts cars floating around. Try eBay, craiglist, etc. You have an early style fender on your 1970, so make sure the fender you get has the notch under the headlight.

    You don't want a fiberglass fender. They don't fit very well, and you really don't want fiberglass parts on a street driven car I my opinion.

    Also keep in mind that Maverick front fenders from a 2 door and a 4 door are exactly the same - I bought 2 nice fenders from a 4 door and sent them out for minor repairs and they look as good as new now and fit my 2 door like they came with them
